[0030] This application is described in detail below. Examples of embodiments of this application are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. Furthermore, detailed descriptions of known technologies that are unnecessary for the features of this application are omitted. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0031] Those skilled in the art will understand that, unless specifically stated otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” “the,” and “the” used herein may also include the plural forms. It should be further understood that the term “comprising” as used in the specification of this application means the presence of the stated features, integers, elements, and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, elements, components, and / or groups thereof. The term “and / or” as used herein includes all or any units and all combinations thereof of one or more associated listed items.

[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this application embodiment provides an instrument panel structure, which mainly includes a frame 1 and a covering 2. The frame 1 is shell-shaped and includes a plate-shaped edge 11 for the reverse wrapping process, a flange 12, a dividing groove 13, and a first end and a second end that are relatively far apart; the first end serves as the windshield panel matching end, and the second end serves as the door trim panel matching end; the plate-shaped edge 11 is formed at the first end; the flange 12 is formed at the second end; the dividing groove 13 extends along the edge of the flange 12; the covering 2 covers the outside of the frame 1.

[0033] Vehicles typically feature two dashboard structures, one on the left and one on the right, with their structures arranged in opposite directions. The dashboard frame 1 has a certain length and is horizontally positioned. For the dashboard structure on the right, the first end of frame 1 is on the left and the second end is on the right; conversely, for the dashboard structure on the left, the first end of frame 1 is on the right and the second end is on the left.

[0034] In this embodiment, the dashboard structure on the right side is used as an example for explanation. The first end of its skeleton 1 has a flat edge 11 that protrudes to the left (opposite to the direction of the second end) to form a structure for reverse wrapping. Reverse wrapping is a key process in automotive wrapping. Reverse wrapping refers to folding the material edge inward and fixing it to the back side, so that the wrapping part 2 fits the part more tightly, avoids wrinkles caused by the wrapping part 2, and improves the overall texture.

[0035] The second end of the frame 1 has a flange 12, and a dividing groove 13 is formed along the edge of the flange 12. The stitching of the covering 2 is embedded in the dividing groove 13 to avoid the back of the covering material from being piled up and wrinkled, so that the covering 2 is smoother and more comfortable, ensuring a certain degree of visual appeal and avoiding reducing the user's visual experience.

[0036] like Figure 1-2 As shown, as an optional embodiment, the skeleton 1 further includes a first reinforcing rib 14, which is formed inside the plate-shaped edge 11 and extends toward the second end.

[0037] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, in this embodiment, the first reinforcing rib 14 extends along the length of the frame 1, that is, from the first end to the second end. The plate-shaped edge 11 is used to match the windshield panel 4, so as to enhance strength while avoiding appearance shrinkage caused by uneven thickness, under the premise of meeting the covering requirements.

[0038] As an alternative implementation, the width of the plate-shaped edge 11 is greater than or equal to 10 millimeters.

[0039] The above embodiments can effectively solve the problem of wrapping wrinkles.

[0040] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the frame 1 further includes a frame body 15, a reinforcing structure 16, and a second reinforcing rib 17. The frame body 15 has a first end and a second end; the reinforcing structure 16 is formed at the first end, and the reinforcing structure 16 has a curved portion to serve as a connection end for the sub-instrument panel cover; the reinforcing structure 16 has adjacent reinforcing protrusions 161 and reinforcing recesses 162, the reinforcing protrusions 161 being part of the curved portion, the reinforcing protrusions 161 protruding in the direction of the second end, and the reinforcing recesses 162 recessed in the direction opposite to the direction of the second end; the second reinforcing rib 17 is formed inside the reinforcing structure 16 and extends toward the frame body 15.

[0041] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, in this embodiment, the main frame 15 has a certain length. The reinforcing structure 16 is close to the aforementioned plate-like edge 11. The reinforcing structure 16 is fixedly connected to the sub-instrument panel side covering. The reinforcing structure 16 has a curved portion, causing the covering 2 to form an arc-shaped structure at the corresponding part of the curved portion. The reinforcing structure 16 is shell-shaped, with the reinforcing protrusion 161 and the reinforcing recess 162 protruding in opposite directions. More specifically, in the instrument panel structure located on the right side, the reinforcing protrusion 161 protrudes to the right, and the reinforcing recess 162 is recessed to the left; conversely, in the instrument panel structure located on the left side, the reinforcing protrusion 161 protrudes to the left, and the reinforcing recess 162 is recessed to the right. The reinforcing protrusion 161, the reinforcing recess 162, and the second reinforcing rib 17 are all used to enhance strength and prevent the frame 1 from being easily damaged.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, as an optional implementation, a screw hole 163 is provided in the reinforcing recess 162, and the screw passes through the screw hole 163 to achieve screw connection with the instrument panel body.

[0043] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, in this embodiment, the screw hole 163 is opened along the thickness direction of the reinforcing recess 162 to realize the screw connection between the skeleton 1 and the instrument panel body.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, as an optional implementation, the reinforcing structure 16 has a mounting through hole 164 for connecting to the sub-instrument panel cover.

[0045] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, in this embodiment, mounting through holes 164 are provided on opposite sides of the reinforcing recess 162, and the mounting through holes 164 are provided along the thickness direction of the reinforcing structure 16. The sub-instrument panel cover is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure, which snaps into the mounting through holes 164 to connect the frame 1 and the sub-instrument panel cover, thereby realizing the assembly of the sub-instrument panel cover.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, in one optional embodiment, the frame 1 further includes a snap-fit ​​bracket 18 and a plurality of snaps 19. The snap-fit ​​bracket 18 is formed inside the frame body 15; the plurality of snaps 19 are formed on the snap-fit ​​bracket 18 and are spaced apart; the second reinforcing rib 17 extends to the snap-fit ​​bracket 18.

[0047] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, in this embodiment, the front of the frame 1 faces the driver's seat and the passenger seat. The snap-fit ​​bracket 18 and multiple snap-fits 19 are formed on the reverse side of the frame 1. A portion of the instrument panel body is located on the reverse side of the frame 1. The frame 1 is snapped into the instrument panel body by multiple snap-fits 19, ensuring a stable connection while enabling quick assembly and disassembly. The second reinforcing rib 17 extends to the snap-fit ​​bracket 18, increasing the strength of the snap-fit ​​bracket 18 and preventing it from being easily damaged.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in one optional embodiment, the flange 12 includes an outer circular edge 121 and an inner circular edge 122 connected to each other; the dividing groove 13 extends along the outer circular edge 121; the maximum distance between the outer circular edge 121 and the inner circular edge 122 is greater than or equal to 46 mm and less than or equal to 47 mm; and / or, the outer diameter of the outer circular edge 121 is greater than or equal to 25 mm and less than or equal to 35 mm; and / or, the inner diameter of the inner circular edge 122 is greater than or equal to 70 mm and less than or equal to 75 mm.

[0049] The core function of the flange is to ensure that the covering part 2 fits evenly against the skeleton 1 during the wrapping process through structural reinforcement, precise fixation, and stress control, ultimately avoiding wrinkling. The parameters of the flange 12, implemented as described above, can prevent wrinkling of the covering part 2. If the flange is too long (i.e., the maximum distance between the outer edge 121 and the inner edge 122 is too long), the wrapping pull is large, making it prone to deformation; if the rounded corners are too small (the outer diameter of the outer edge 121 is too small, and / or the inner diameter of the inner edge 122 is too small), the covering part 2 is prone to material accumulation, resulting in wrinkles. Preferably, the maximum distance between the outer edge 121 and the inner edge 122 is 47 mm, and the inner diameter of the inner edge 122 is 70 mm.

[0050] Based on the same inventive concept, this application provides a vehicle that mainly includes an instrument panel trim panel 3, a windshield panel 4, and a cover 2 for the instrument panel structure of any of the foregoing embodiments, which is press-fitted with the instrument panel trim panel 3 and the windshield panel 4.

[0051] like Figure 5-6 As shown, based on the aforementioned embodiments, in this embodiment, the edges of the dashboard trim panel 3 and the windshield panel 4 are both lower than the covering 2 of the dashboard structure, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection. On this basis, by utilizing the flexibility of the covering 2, the edges of the dashboard trim panel and the windshield panel are embedded within the covering, thereby avoiding the edges of the dashboard trim panel and the windshield panel being exposed, i.e. avoiding the seams facing people, which can improve the visual effect and interior texture.

[0052] As an optional implementation, the vehicle also includes a door trim panel cover and a secondary instrument panel side cover; both the door trim panel cover and the secondary instrument panel side cover have curved portions; the door trim panel cover is disposed on the second end side of the instrument panel structure, and the door trim panel cover matches the second end of the instrument panel structure so that the connection between the two forms an arc-shaped structure when the door is closed; the secondary instrument panel side cover is disposed on the secondary instrument panel cover connecting end side of the instrument panel structure, and the secondary instrument panel side cover is connected to the secondary instrument panel cover connecting end of the instrument panel structure so that an arc-shaped structure is formed at the connection between the two.

[0053] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, in this embodiment, when the doors are closed, the door trim panel, the secondary instrument panel, and the instrument panel surround the driver's seat and the passenger seat. Taking the driver's seat as an example, the door trim panel covering is located on the left side of the driver's seat, the (left-side) instrument panel structure is located in front of the driver's seat, and the secondary instrument panel is located on the right side of the driver's seat. When the doors are closed, the door trim panel covering is connected to the instrument panel structure covering 2, and the connection point forms a first arc-shaped structure, that is, a first arc-shaped structure is formed in front of the left side of the driver's seat, with the concave part of the first arc-shaped structure facing the driver's seat; the connection point between the door trim panel covering and the instrument panel structure covering 2 forms a second arc-shaped structure, that is, a second arc-shaped structure is formed in front of the right side of the driver's seat, with the concave part of the second arc-shaped structure facing the driver's seat. The first and second arc-shaped structures surround the driver's seat, sequentially forming a wraparound interior, which enhances the visual effect and interior quality.
